In the body's own words
- Recommendation
Public administration must ensure it is managing its workforce and records appropriately through utilising proper systems and processes and applying appropriate oversight.
Findings and recommendations
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
No published response was found.
